Trypophobia Friendly Silksong

[hearty flicker]

I have pretty bad trypophobia, the fear of holes, which makes it difficult to get through The Abyss. All I want is a mod that either replaces the sprites or removes entirely, the Gloom and the Gargant Gloom enemies.

I think for the sole enemies could be a custom enemy skin?

For info on anyone interested in doing this skin their sprites are (spoiler: enemy name + files location) ||animated in the folder Gloom Beast, has both the Gloomsac(small enemy) and the Gargant Gloom(big enemy) anmiations, and I also found the small enemy Idle sprite at Sprites\Hornet_Enemies\Gloomfly (this relative path referencing from the "Entire thing.zip" file at #silk-resources message ) ||
(I hope I'm sharing useful and related info)

I know that Patchwork recently updated to allow for editing most of the game’s textures. It might include enemies. It’s probably your best bet for most easily editing their appearance. I would do it but I don’t know how to code. Hope this helps

Yeah I'm thinking of doing this myself and so I was thinking of simply making the Gargant Gloom enemies surface smooth(remove entirely the holes) as a first preliminar solution ? Actually I don't think you need how to code but simply to edit the enemies sprites, btw I checked patchwork already and yes it can modify the enemeies textures

MB :(

I was thinking into making them look like the flukes from HK1 but that should help more

[elfin geode]

Ok I did this initial (clearly a) draft what you think of it ?
My idea is to patch the holes from the main body and following ShadowMaster1717 suggestion to change their face, and finally do a bit cleaning around the part where the legs touch the body

The anti-trypophobia Gloom looks really funny

I’ve made a version that covers up all the holes and smiley faces can easily be added on

there’s also these two and should the hokers be edited?
